The Crawler Tractor/Dozer training course is aimed at delegates that want to learn how to safely operate and manage track-based crawlers like dozers and crawler tractors. We offer courses accredited by CPCS, INHOUSE, or ITSSAR. The theory and practical tests last for a total of 4 hours and successful candidates will not only be tested on their crawler operator skills but will receive an accredited operator card.

As well as testing and certifying candidates, at SB Skills Solutions Ltd, we also offer full training to give candidates the best chance of successful course completion. We can provide training to all skill levels from novice to experienced. Our fully qualified and experienced trainers can teach foundation skills as well as advanced techniques.

SB Skills Solutions Ltd is a health and safety training company offering courses designed for those in the construction industry.

Participant Requirements

SB Skills tailors the content of its courses to the specific requirements of delegates. Delegates can discuss their relevant experience with the instructor to ensure that they get the level and specific instruction they require.

All candidates need to have a good understanding of written and spoken English to complete the course. They must also have taken a Construction Skills Health and Safety touch screen course within the past two years.

Who Should Take The Bulldozer Training Course?

Crawler dozers and tractors are potentially dangerous and damaging machines. They are used to move heavy loads and transport earth and materials around site. Their size and operation mean that the poor use of machinery can lead to accidents and injuries.

It is the responsibility of site owners and employers to ensure the safety of all people on site. As such, any employee or worker that will be using this type of machinery should have the skills and knowledge to operate the machinery safely. The Crawler dozer/tractor training course is suitable for any individual that will be using this type of machinery.

Course Objectives

The objective of crawler training is to teach the safe operation of these potentially dangerous machines. Candidates will be taught to a level that meets Health and Safety Executive regulations and successful candidates will receive certification. Employers sending their workers on the course can ensure that they provide a safe working environment for employees and other site users.

What Will Participants Learn?

Delegates will be taught general construction safety awareness skills. They will learn the roles and responsibilities of people on-site, and how their own role fits into this.

Delegates will also be taught the basic operation of machinery, according to manufacturer instructions. They will learn to conduct pre-use safety checks and how to traverse a variety of grounds and ground types. Candidates will also learn to construct ramps and how to safely create stockpiles.

Course Boards

CPCS – The Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS) is the most widely recognised qualification for construction related training. While it is not a legal requirement that crawler operators hold a CPCS accredited card, but it is company policy for some organisations. Contact us today about crawler tractor/dozer A34 training from CPCS.

ITSSAR – The Independent Training Standards Scheme and Register (ITSSAR) is another recognised accreditation board. Although they are better recognised outside the construction industry, ITSSAR certification is a far more economical alternative to CPCS.

In-House – We can tailor training to meet the specific requirements of your organisation. Every organisation, and every site, has different requirements and poses its own unique risks. Our customised in-house training allows you to offer training in the specific health and safety aspects of working on your site. It shows a dedication to the safety of your staff.
